SCHMID MUSIC BOXES
 SCHMID  STICKERS

Schmid music boxes had either a sticker or a stamp on the bottom containing the Schmid name, the name of the tune and the country in which they were produced.  Some also had the tune number.  There is very little information on Schmid products as the Company ceased operations in 1995.  The following is a record of the various stickers we are aware of and some indication of the time period they appear to have been used.  We have numbered them for reference purposes only.

If anyone reading this has more accurate or additional information about these stickers please email us your comments.

.
No. 1 - Schmid Bros. Inc.
This sticker and backstamp are on the Peanuts music box "The Red Baron" and shows it was in use in 1968.   We do not know when this sticker was first introduced or when it was discontinued
No. 2 - Creative Hand
This appears to be the first sticker attached to Beatrix Potter and     Disney music boxes as early as 1977 and was in use until about 1981.

 
No. 3 - Japan
The Japan sticker appears to have been used from about 1980 to 1987.  The Disney music boxes had this sticker up to 1986 at which time the Disney backstamp was changed from Walt Disney Productions to Walt Disney Company.  It was also used with the Snow White and Seven Dwarfs 50th Anniversary sticker in 1987.
No. 4 - Korea
It would appear Schmid musicals were only produced in Korea for a short period of time.  This sticker can be found on the Beatrix Potter "Jeremy Fisher With Fish" where the backstamp has the year 1988 and on "Peter in the Watering Can" issued in 1990.
No. 5 - Taiwan
The Taiwan sticker also appears to have been in effect for a short period of time.  It was found in a Disney "Sleeping Beauty" musical with a 30th anniversary 1959-1989 backstamp.
No. 6 - Sri Lanka
This sticker appears to have been used in the early 1990's - probably from 1990 to 1994.  It is attached to a Beatrix Potter "Jemima Puddleduck" music box with the date 1994 on the backstamp.
No. 7 - Malaysia
This would appear to be the last sticker used before Schmid ceased operations in 1995.  It is found on such Disney musicals  as "The Lion King", "Cinderella and Prince" and "Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket" musicals.  The Beatrix Potter "Ginger and Pickles Teashop" had the year 1993 on the backstamp so it would appear this sticker was used in 1994-95.
